Vomitting. Has Had Cold Chills. Why Is There Headache? Acid Reflux?
My 18 year old son has been vomiting off and on for 11 days now. He has cold chills but no fever. He is also burping alot and gets hiccups. He has only had one bowel movement during this time. He also has had a headache since the symptoms began. Dr. i took him to yesterday thinks it might be acid reflux . Im not so sure. What do u think it could be.
A full clinical examination and some investigations are needed to reach to a diagnosis. There might be a possibility of hepatitis or it could just be gastritis.
Following investigations may be helpful :- 1. Complete Blood Count ( CBC ). 2. Liver Function Test ( LFT ). 3. Urine examination. 4. Stool examination. 5. Ultrasound of abdomen.
I would advise that he should be clinically examined by a medical professional. An antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with Domperidone 30mg can help in relief of the symptoms. Further medical management can be planned after knowing the reports of the investigations.
I hope this is helpful to you. Thanks.
